Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

老阿姨想法哈多，沙大啊
在最私密的空间和互动事件中，他唤起了她的性觉醒，而她也引导他放下了对家人的“戒备”，四次会面带来的改变足以修正人生偏差，镜头里她的眼神中有光，尽管身体的衰老无法逆转，但灵魂的魅力与活力有希望长存。P.S:想起了之前和朋友谈论X工作与社会发展的关系，看完此篇后更坚定自己的想法。
只想说姐妹们好好攒钱吧，老了以后才能买得起高级🦆
可能是到了年龄，不知不觉地迷离了交姌，消散了荷尔蒙
看见《性，谎言，录像带》分比这低那么多我整个人都不好了……
不过不失的话剧电影，表面开放其实内核保守得像美国人写的剧本，相比之下几年前Sally field那部Doris倒显得大胆了。
言语间提到的扮成猫、看电视一些看似古怪或过于寻常的行为背后，是那些孤独，需要存在感，又深切爱着自由的灵魂。
本以为男主穿上衣服会说：我是性心理学博士，这些接单都是田野调查……
演的真好，好多地方笑死。最喜欢藏标签那个镜头，Emma Thompson太可爱了。
表演、调度、剧本, 简洁又动人. 主题更不必说. 我要推荐给每一位女性朋友(还有个别男性友人)!
男主眼睛真好看，开场的侧面真的惊为天人。and不太明白为什么要在这样的关系里找intimacy，但是，如果真的有Leo Grande，那大家都是要去book的。
虽然只有两个人的戏，但是人物关系的渐近，和慢慢剖析出的人的性格和背景都非常有戏。感觉是很好的戏。
性别互换骂街上万 以及 太幻想了 看完感觉目标人群年龄不超过十五岁
一个人帅气有礼貌，会交流，耐心温柔，邀请你交配有什么可以拒绝的呢？看看那些约炮男有什么资本让人睡得下去？
see people, pay respect, learn to be honest to yourself.
#2022 圣丹斯# 这部电影会在三大之前就被列为年度十佳的候选！推荐给所有对心理学，尤其是精神分析感兴趣的小伙伴。故事表面看似是老年女性和青年男性之间的sex交易，但是两位陌生人之间通过逐步深入的四次心灵（肉体）互动，不知不觉成为各自的心理疗愈师，抽丝剥茧地逐一解决了各自人生中所遭遇的原生家庭，亲密关系以及自我认同方面的各层危机，属于年度必看佳片
还可以，剧本没有很飞略失望，主要探讨的内容有点老生常谈，而且比较浅，真的就是“why do we have to wait until 2022 to see a film like this? ”似乎更像是上代人的回溯，不过艾玛的角色也让我对处于中年又为人父母的女性有了一丢丢新的认识，一种紧张与焦虑。男主眼睛蛮好看，这种水准的服务还要啥心理咨询啊。
真的很稳。Nancy的角色是对所有被性别角色所捆绑女性的完美折射，焦虑、欲望、失望和恐惧都在行为和言语中暴露无疑。平日被消费的对象反转成为消费的主体，将男性凝视自食其果；但却不仅仅如此，在凝视的基础上还增加了很多层次的阐释和叙述，对性工作者的迷思，不仅来自性别，更与种族身份密不可分。女性的欲望在一次次宛如心理咨询的谈话中被重提，被讨论，只是多了一些实践的层面，满足性幻想和需求。信息量太大，也感觉到导演想要一下次全部展现，有些细节感觉略微操之过急和刻意。4.8/5
Wow，多么大胆、真诚而又温暖的电影！
